Fine. (Almost) Every app on *Windows and Unix* I have ever seen has the 
application name in the titlebar.

But I need to know that I have a *hammer* in the hand. If there is no 
application name in the titlebar, I would only see "Quick Search 
Feature", without any hint that it's an email. I might think, the window 
were a search dialog, while in fact it's email email talking about it. 
(Similar for the "Mozilla" folder.)

Also, it is important for me to know, which implementation of the "tool" 
I am using. Some are better than others.

That's Mac-only. If you are proposing Mac-only changes, please say so.
